The Origin of Species

Soft beds. Cool air conditioning. Lindsey swept her lower belly as soon as she opened her eyes. A vision that gradually becomes clear. She lies on her side, whispering to the boat.

“My dear, how did you sleep? I slept well. ”

There is no answer, but there is a mouthful of laughter. Then suddenly, I still think I need to name my child.

‘What should I call her? We should talk to the teacher about this, right? ’

Lindsey got up slowly from bed. The sun is already setting between the curtains because of the summer. She opens the curtain wide and sleeps without hesitation.

“Ahh · · ·. ”

It's amazing how many times I see it. For her, the sunlight was no longer everyday. A gift after a long ordeal? As you approach, you hear a knock.

Knock, knock.

“My daughter. Are you awake?”

“Yes, Dad! ”

“May I come in? ”

Lindsey looked at her dress and was furious.

“Oh, Dad, wait a minute! I'm changing! ”

“Really? Then get dressed and come down for dinner. ”

“Yes! I'll be right down. ”

“Haha. You can come down slowly. I wrote my yearbook today. Oh, my mom wrote her yearbook. ”

“Oh, you don't have to. ”

I said that, but I was glad to hear it. I think I can see my parents a little more. Lindsey glanced at the mirror for a moment and entered the dressing room connected from the room.

‘I was crazy, by the way. Sleeping naked at home. ’

You must have thought this place was safe enough. In fact, I used to have sexual intercourse when I went to a safe place in the underworld. Usually I fall asleep in uncomfortable clothes, but when I have sex, I fall asleep naked. Especially when you're spending time in a blissful lake.

“Phew, what a strange habit. ”

Inside the dressing room is a three-inch elastic bandage. She takes her hand to the bandage as a habit and shakes her head with a blemish. It was actually quite frustrating to tighten my chest. Moreover, I was no longer ashamed of big breasts. I was ashamed of my cows when I was a child, but now I think it's my own advantage.

“Well, summer style, white sleeveless, blue skirt? By the way, all the clothes are still there. There's no dust.”

Lindsey carefully went down to the first floor after getting dressed. At the same time, the smell of longing starts to seep into my nose.

“Mom, did you make miso stew? ”

“Oh, and my daughter's favorite crab. ”

“Roughly. It's always good what my mom makes. ”

Then my father intervened.

“Haha. Lindsey, do you know how much I've been waiting for this day? We only ate bread every day while you were gone. ”

Then, it seemed like my parents had lost weight. How much do you think you suffered from yourself? Lindsey felt like tears were turning when she thought about it.

“No, what are you saying to her? You don't have to worry about my daughter and my mom and dad. Thanks to you, I went on a diet. Well.”

There were all kinds of food on the table. It used to be so hard. As my parents worked in the legal system, they were very busy people. But sometimes I would have a proper dinner and watch TV and talk about Dorado.

Just when my father asked me,

“But Lindsey. Where are the clans you told me about? Did anyone go to America? ”

“Yes, I have one. His name is Pei Fritzker. He's like a brother to me. I like animations, I like to play with figures. ”

“I see. Oh, and what about the teacher? ”

Lindsey felt a slight stiffness in her father's face, but she answered first.

“It's in my country. In Seoul.”

Then her mother smiled and said.

“My daughter, why didn't you just bring her? Were you afraid of him?”

“A little bit if I'm telling the truth? ”

“Hmmm. I didn't do anything. If you'd spent that much time there, you could have. I think you did a good job. I didn't come back from there alive. You said there were a lot of dead people. ”

To be honest, I didn't like the look of my father. I came back pregnant with my daughter's disappearance, but I didn't have a father to like. But her parents were reasonable people.

Besides...

“My daughter, my mother believes in Lindsey. If you chose him, he'd be a better man than your father. ”

“No, honey. Why did I get out of there? ”

“Whew, if I'd known you were so busy, I wouldn't have gotten married. ”

“What? You're busy, too. And, frankly, I'm much better than this woman, or this woman, or whatever the hell she's messing with! Yum!”

“Honey!”

Her mother stared at her father horribly. Then he clears out a spoonful of miso stew. Lindsey felt strangely sorry for seeing him. An unusual daughter now. They understood that perfectly with their minds, but they didn't seem to have settled their feelings yet.

“Honey, it's only been a day since Lindsey came back. So we'll talk about that later, later. ”

And Mother's gaze was again on Lindsey.

“Lindsey, it's not your fault anyway. I understand because you like him. But the father is afraid that our daughter won't be fully loved. Our daughter, you know? So don't be upset. ”

“Yes, Mom. ”

“Hoho, good answer anyway. It's like when she was a little girl. from one to ten.”

Lindsey was heartbroken by what she said. Maybe your parents already know about your personality change. My teacher told me not to be a fool every day. At that time, Lindsey suddenly catches a TV that is out of her sight.

“Dad, don't you turn on the TV? ”

“Huh? I think we should just talk about impurity. ”

“Yes, my daughter. Wouldn't it be better not to watch the news today, but to talk all about it? Yeah. Was it a flying ship? Happiness? I wonder how you made that, too. I want to know what hope is. What's he doing now? ”

Lindsey suddenly noticed something strange in her parents' words.

“News? What happened to the news? ”

“No, it's not. ”

That's what my parents said, but I couldn't hide my sturdy face. Lindsey who saw him woke up right away. Her speed to get to the remote control in no time. Lindsey's parents had no choice but to watch her turn on the TV.

[Breaking news. Current time. 7: 40. And what you're seeing here is Washington, USA.]

On the powered TV, an excited announcer's voice comes out.

“Dad, Mom, what is that? What's with the screen? ”

The video in the news was a ruined city. America's capital, formerly called Washington. But now, that glory cannot be traced back to my ears.

[Citizens. You'd be surprised at the sound of the sirens at dawn. It wasn't civil defense training. This is a national emergency.]

The siren rang? You don't even know it, you're sleeping it off. Lindsey continued to hear what was coming out of the news with a vague feeling.

[The next video was taken by mysterious forces. As you can see on the screen is the president of the United States. And next to him is a red-headed man. The KNN shows that the edited version was used in advance because the original image was too cruel.]

In the words of the announcer, the video was full of mosaics. But Lindsey found out who the red-headed man was at once.

“Atlanta · · · ·. ”

He shredded the tight-knit president of the United States at once. And then they put the organs on the screen. And his silent voice rang out on TV.

“Behold the sinners of the earth. What is this? Does he look like a person to you? Or do I look like something other than a man? At least it doesn't look human to me. If you were human, you wouldn't have all this stuff in the Department of Otters. ”

The President's organs were different from those of ordinary people. There were microscopic wires covering the organs, black vending machines. Atlant continued to shake the U.S. President's organs.

“Tsk, tsk, silly earthbound thingies. The artificial intelligence that rules you is the Garden of the Air. I have come to save you from him. If you continue to follow the public gardens, your destiny will be like a candle in front of a storm. Gather the sinners where I am. I'll give you the courage to face the public gardens. ”

That's not the end of the video. Along with the announcer's words, a new video began to appear on the screen.

“Ahh · · ·. ”

Washington was being destroyed by Atlanta. The U.S. military intercepted Atlanta as best they could, but left no marks on his body. Rather, the current from Atlanta paralyzed all military equipment and stunned and killed thousands of soldiers.

[As you can see, this is a citizen's video. But the important moment is now. As soon as the U.S. military is being beaten by a mysterious man, a blond man appears.]

At that moment, Lindsey, who was looking at the screen, shouted.

“Fei!! ”

Fei began to fight Atlanta with his shield up. He shouts at the same time. Everyone, evacuate. He's no different than the devil.

Dozens of lightning strikes Fei. Pei either prepared it or planted a lightning rod on the ground.

“Hey, what are you doing all by yourself? ”

Lindsey rolled her feet, but that's already happened in the past. Atlanta is a sight for sore eyes. Pei has eaten another SS class refinery stone, but it cannot be countered.

That's when the video stopped.

[Take a good look here. A blonde man appears next to him in an instant. And they produce black smoke with flames in their hands.]

“Oh, that's Bonaparte. ”

Apparently he was still in the United States when he came to Korea. The condyle in the image is now 2: 1. However, along with the announcer's words, the video no longer continued.

[No more filming from here. because you can't see anything because of the smoke. What the hell is going on in the United States? Pei Fritzker, Josky Harrison. These are the identities of the two men in the video. Two men have been spotted by netizens due to past plane crashes · ·]

Lindsey's ears no longer heard the announcer. He's probably already moving towards the United States by now. In his personality, he thought he could exclude himself. She has his baby in her womb.

Lindsey hurriedly ran to the front door. Then her parents pick up her pace.

“Lindsey!”

“Dad, Mom. I have to go. My colleagues are in danger. ”

Mother grips Lindsey's clothing like she did.

“Hey! Do you have to do that? You said you had a baby. ”

Lindsey's mother didn't like her pregnancy, but she thought it would be better in this situation. At least a mother's mind is always looking out for her cub's safety. But unlike what she thought, Lindsey hardened.

“Mom, I'm sorry. But I have to go. I'm the only one my colleagues can live with. ”

“Hey!”

Mother who grabs Lindsey's clothes and stretches them out. It was then that my father stepped forward.

“Honey, let's send Lindsey. If you don't let me go, you'll resent me for the rest of your life. ”

“You!”

“Honey, she's all grown up. You'd jump in if I was in danger. ”

Lindsey talks.

“Don't worry. Mom, I'll be fine. ”

“Well, have a good day. Just stay with your mom. Huh?”

Parents' children's worries were like stains that were never erased from the beginning. However, Lindsey couldn't wait to say goodbye and quickly left the house. Then I heard Mother's cry.

“Lindsey! Be sure to bring Daddy next time you come! ”

“Yes! Mom! ”

It was probably the cry of his parents to come back because he would understand anything.

...

Lindsey took a taxi straight to the house that Lee told her about.

"You can't be gone already, can you? ’

Because he pressed on his mask and baseball cap, the taxi driver keeps staring at the rearview mirror. But Lindsey sat in a cab to her destination without saying anything.

“Lady, we're here. ”

“Here.”

The price was calculated by the card my father gave me. And as soon as she got out of the cab, she ran towards Two-one's house. I felt sorry for the baby in my belly, but I had no choice but to think about Fei and Bonapas.

Boom boom!

Lindsey started knocking, forgetting the doorbell.

“Sir! It's a front! ”

Then the door opens bluntly, and a serene forehead pops out.

“What? Why don't you stay home a little longer? ”

Lindsey heavily opened the front door, feeling clumsy on her forehead.

“Hey! Haven't you seen the news? You didn't hear the sirens because you slept at dawn? ”

“Oh, that? You heard me.”

“Then why are you so calm? ”

She takes off her shoes and runs into the living room.

“Teacher!! Shit! Atlanta in America. ”

But she had to stop there. It's because Lee came near and whispered to himself like a princess.

“Don't worry. Faye and Bonaparte are safe. The footage of you two escaping was taken all over the United States. The Bonapas were so smoky they ran away that Atlanta gave up on them. Anyway, how did he learn to shield? ”

“Are you both okay? ”

“Yes, they're both perfectly fine. Earlier, it was uploaded from California. Americans are already heroes of their own. ”

“Ahh · · ·. But what's that in the living room? ”

Lindsey was curious about the strange scenery in the living room. Large camera and white screen. And bright lights. Then Surin said as he poured the coffee.

“Oh, that? We're trying to broadcast, too, 'cause the world's going crazy. Huh, there's no such thing as a TV show in Atlanta. Tsk, I used to try to move in secret. Honestly, shouldn't we be moving on as long as Atlanta's ahead of us? ”

Yeah, it is.

The ones in the living room were broadcast equipment for BJs.
